Governor Bullock Signs New Law Funding K-12 Broadband Upgrades

New state investment will catalyze up to $20 million in crucial school broadband upgrades in Montana

Montana Governor Steve Bullock today joined Woodman School officials and students in Lolo to celebrate the approval of a $2 million investment to give Montana schools the opportunity to enhance broadband and develop 21st century classrooms.

"Providing our students with access to high-quality digital learning helps set them up for success in our increasingly digital world," said Governor Bullock. "As a predominantly rural state, we need to work even harder to make sure that our students have the high-speed Internet that they need to flourish. This investment is the result of collaboration between state government, the service provider and school communities, and will bring us even closer to closing the connectivity gap in our state’s schools."
